About Us

The Parish Church of St. Mary Magdalen, Tilehurst is located at the bottom of Kentwood Hill where it joins the Oxford Road to the West of Reading.
Three churches dedicated to St. Mary Magdalen, have in turn served this part of lower Tilehurst.
The first church was built in Weald Rise, with an adjacent church hall on a site that is now the Norcot Nursery. This church was dedicated on 18th December 1929.
The second church was built on the Rodway Road site. The building was dedicated in December 1956 and is now used as the Church Hall. 
The third church is the one you can see today and was dedicated in 1963.
